I think this good. Mlb need to stop paying these dudes ridiculous amount of money for 7 years to 10 years. These type of deals never turn out good and ultimately teams regret the contract within 5 years of the deal. Also handicaps the teams future. Yes players should get paid no doubt but max deals should be 5 years and range between 100m to 150m. Thats more than enough. Its good that owners and teams are smarting up
they gotta pay them no choice. If the teams make more money the players deserve more money. Ill agree on the # of years though that shits ridiculous. 5 years a team can do but fuckin 8???
MLB is drastically moving towards the NBA free agency style. Now in the NBA, players don't get contracts over 5 years
I totally agree with u. Baseball contracts should max out like nba contracts, 4/5 yrs. Since its baseball max out at 35/40 mil a yr only for the top players
I'm of two minds because I don't begrudge the players trying to get their cut of the pie they give their bodies and time for, but some of the contracts really don't make any sense. Yeah, you can be good in baseball to age 35 or beyond if you don't build up a lot of injuries, but frankly any contracts over 6 years long or MAYBE $25 million a year for up to 4 years seem illogical to me unless someone hits with Stanton's power, Altuve's eye and fields like Lindor.
Listening to this now, the JD Martinez deal may go down as one of the best bargains of all-time.
The players are to blame.. everyone is crying that Bryce Harper is still on the free-agent block. Him not signing is causing other slowdowns for outfielders. However, Harper was offered 10 years at three hundred million dollars before the offseason even started. Manny Machado has had an offer from the White Sox for over a month. Him not signing is causing a slow down for third baseman and shortstop. It's not on the teams so, it's on the players!
This has a lot to do with the steroid era coming to an end. Since players aren’t able to play to their age 36, 37, 38, etc signing a player at age 30 to a 7-8 year deal is just bad business. Too many of these contracts blew up in their faces. Plus with the big market teams not wanting to go over the salary cap it’s creating a perfect storm.
I completely agree with the MLB. For years we’ve seen almost every deal for 8-10 years fail after the first 3-4 years. Players need to realize that if your over 30 they shouldn’t get any deal over 5-6 years.
How's that Albert pujols contract working out? Exactly.
Almost as well as the Josh Hamilton deal!
Michael Kay is dead on here. Totally agree
Boras guys finally caved in for a small contract in 2024
he's right, the analytics people have taken over. this may lead to an eventual nba style cap based on a split of revenues.
Slowest offseason ever :(
Could not have said it better
They are colluding again....they did it back in the 80s, they are willing to do it again....players should work in tandem or triplicate to hold their feet to the fire.
Draft picks reversed, 1st overall pick to the winner of the World Series.
It should go to the best team not to make the playoffs.
Thank you 🙏🏼. Players need to play the sport for the love of the game not the money. They are privileged to get paid tons of money for what they love to do.
It not that simple my friend. Owners are making billions off of you over the course of your career. On top of that, you stop making money once you retire. A player has the right to try and make as much money as possible throughout the course of his career and an owner has the right to pay or not pay such a player. I think $300 Million dollar contracts are absurd for any player in baseball; I dont care how good they are. Ask the Angels about Puljos or ask the Rangers/Yankees about Arod.
Abraham Hassan that’s my point exactly. Players have been spoiled with crazy contracts and remember that players make money out side of their contracts with commercials and endorsements. Micheal Jordan probably made more money retired than as an athlete, same with Lebron who makes more money in endorsements than his contract. Yes owners make billions but they have the right to say that certain players can’t make more than what they ask for. Next thing you know 400mil contracts would be the norm
hey you cant begrudge a player and his agent for trying to get max value. Not everyone can be Jordan so that a bit unfair but i feel you
Do you work for the love for your work..??..Or for the money.??
rockybluekiller profesional athletes get to where they are because of the love of the game. They spent their whole life getting to where they wanted to be and get paid really well. I wish they paid me at least 1 million at my job. These guys get paid 5-10 million per year if they are decent and 20 million plus if they are great plus endorsements. They have to be less selfish and if you are getting 20-25mil per year, take it because that’s a crap load a year
Jd Martinez is not worth 30mil/year, teams get screwed for doing these long contracts and the players don't pan out, example Jacoby elsbury who is a bench warmer is getting payed almost as much Stanton.
As a Yankee fan Elsbury drives me crazy, 25 million dollars a year to pinch run
ShowiestZebra I don't think Stanton is worth what hes making now, but that's the contract the Marlins gave him, he's more than likely not going to always stay in new york, I can see him getting traded to the dodgers in a few years. My point is players are getting overpaid for long-term contracts and it screws the teams over.
Only Trout...
How did Peter get a hot ass wife like Alexa?
What about now shows that JD MARTINEZ costs more then what he got he shup everybody mouth started with this guy Michael Kay
Hot 97

This guy's protecting the owner, know the players. You want the owner to keep all the money, and not to share with it players, they are the ones that make the job
no one deserves 30 mil a year, regardless how good they are
seekr34,, so you want the owner to keep all the money, and not to share with it players, they are the ones that make the job
Thomas Ingram so why aren’t you “hitting a ball with a stick” if it makes you sooo much money
Thomas Ingram and you are complaining about the players making so much money? Do you even have a idea of how much money a owner has? Also why would they spread the wealth they worked so hard for? That’s called communism, look it up
Thomas Ingram I don’t think you realize what sports and pro sports teams do for a society but whatever you’ll never understand
Thomas Ingram ohhhh did I mention anything about economics, that’s completely different. You’re just upset you little league coach said you were shit and you can’t play sports
Jd martinez isnt worth 30 mill he’s not even worth 17 mill
15 at the most. Dave dombrowski is learning from his mistakes and as much as I hate the red sox, i have to commend them for not giving in to ridiculous contract demands. Agents are overvaluing their players and hurting them in the long run.
The so many players hit homeruns last season is because Manfred has distributed juiced balls in the MLB.Manfred is destroying the game,that world series was a joke Verlander himself said there was something wrong with the balls they were given.
